Pi 4 and using hot spot


 

I got my Pi 4 out in the mobile today. Is there away to get a BC map. I see I had check download new map. I'm going to remove that.?

The Pat Menu started up. I started Bluetooth. Loaded up APRS. The GPS didn't seem to track or beacon. I have logged into hotspot. My icon aka wheelchair has not moved. I have to find FAQ or something on that program to follow my tracks, and have the map show a full map not a 1/2 with white and the other side as a map?

Later

Is there away to get a BC map
BC map in which program Don?

Loaded up APRS.
Which APRS program are you using?

GPS didn't seem to track or beacon
Did the GPS have a lock on the satellites?

It seems where I downloaded the Off Line map for BC Aprsdroid has changed

Loaded up APRS.
Which APRS program are you using?

All I know is the GPS DIY gps I had on the roof of the car. This GPS worked in the house before I took the PI 4 out for it's road trip.

Don,

Jason was trying to determine which of the two APRS programs included with Build-a-Pi you are using. Either YAAC or XASTIR.?

Pat Menu has nothing to do with APRSdroid or APRS. It is an application to help manage Pat Winlink. You can change the map it displays in the Pat Menu settings. There are two choices, USA and World.

YAAC and Xastir have?a way/setting to change to a regional map. However, it accesses by being on the line. There's a check button I didn't notice in Xastir. "Use a new map on restart." This comment makes it it hard to see a proper map of the area one lives at. I'm not sure if unchecked it says as loaded from setup,? I've had other issues in life get in the way.

?I don't any info into adding it to the program. I'm still looking for ways other than being online.
